Blech, Monday again. This weekend went by way too quickly as usual. Before I forget, I should let you guys know that we are heading into the busiest time of the year at work so it may take me longer than normal to respond to your comments. Know that I appreciate all of them and I promise to try and respond as fast as I can. Well, unlike many people, I didn't attend any Superbowl parties. I feel like I only watch the Superbowl for the commercials and when you go to a party, there are usually too many people who talk over the important parts (the commercials) so you can't pay attention. Instead, I stayed home, cooked, cleaned, and also enjoyed one of these burgers. I actually made them on Saturday, but had enough left over for me to enjoy for the big game. I had a little turkey left over from the turkey meatballs over greens and I found the Greek inspired recipe on Closet Cooking. Once again, I made my own buns because it's way cheaper than running to the store to buy some buns. Plus, I think they are really easy to make. Last week I got some really awesome feta from the farmers market. I was a little dubious when the vendor claimed it would be the best feta I had ever tasted, but it kind of was. I prefer a chunkier tzatziki so instead of shredding the cucumbers, I just chopped them into smaller pieces. The overall combination of the burger and toppings was fantastic! It was filling without me feeling weighed-down and the flavors were excellent.

Dawn, I think I am going to start making tzatziki on a more regular basis. I was eating the leftovers with everything!

Diana, I go to the Beverly Hills farmers market. It's great because even though it's small, they have most of the same vendors as Hollywood and it's never too crowded. I love the movie Ratatouille! Sooo cute!

Mmmmm - what a yummy burger! I'm so impressed that you make your own buns. Tzatziki is one of my all time favorite foods. It makes everything taste better. I love it on salmon, and I would love it on these burgers. Hope the busy season at work doesn't wear you out!

Christine! The farmers market has had a ton of strawberries lately, I think I may have to make the muffins again. The buns are really easy to make. Just mix everything together and then let them rise twice, easy peasy!
